Every day in the car. At work I listen to Mark all day every day on Youtube. Once in a while, when I am sitting back in my recliner in my den, I shut the doors, put on Tracker, close my eyes and listen. The rest of the time, I just go about my day singing all the songs from memory. I always wake up and before I hit the shower, a random Tracker song comes flowing out of my mouth. Lately, it's been OP, River Towns, Broken Bones.... Two weeks ago it was Long Cool Girl, Lights of Taormina and Silver Eagle (which I have come to love).Before that of course, it was Beryl and Wherever I Go. Next week, who knows?   :D

And for the people who love heavenly guitarsolos:

Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi - Midnight In Harlem LIVE


I fell in love with this song !
thanks Guitarman for pointing it out  :thumbsup

I listen to it several times per day, it's indeed like being in heaven, and it gives me serenity during hard times in life...

ther are many great live versions but the studio version has the advantage to get both rhythm and slide guitar parts :

There is something that always affect me when listening to MK albums, and it´s if MK is playing songs from it in his new tour.

And well, he is, 5 songs are or were in the set, Broken Bones, Skydiver, Laughs..., Mighty Man and Wherever I Go were on the set, some of them still are, so it kind of makes me appreciate more the record and go back to listen to it, and even like it more, specially songs that are NOT in the live set, like Basil, Silver Eagle etc
You might get lucky, now and then

I don't think it is!

I listen to Tracker all the time since he's only playing 1 out of my personal Top 5 live.  :disbelief
